A simple shape that works well for everyday wear

This is a women’s alpaca beanie in a dark grey shade, with a soft halo on the surface and no turn-up brim, so it sits lightly and does not add extra volume at the forehead. Aga chose a single rib here, which helps the knit keep its elasticity and fit the head well.

• 100% alpaca creates a lightweight, medium-weight knit, so the beanie works well on cold autumn and winter days without feeling heavy.
• The lack of a folded brim reduces bulk at the front, so the beanie sits more easily under a hood and has a cleaner line.
• The extended back creates a looser finish at the back of the head, so the beanie does not hold a stiff, close shape.
• The single rib stitch helps the knit adjust to the shape of the head, which helps the beanie keep its form better in wear.
• The softly fuzzy surface gives this alpaca wool beanie a natural look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Good resistance to pilling helps the beanie keep a neat appearance for longer with normal use.

Extras and care

If you like, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same colour — we make the pom-pom from the same yarn as the beanie. We can also prepare a matching scarf, snood or shawl if you are looking for a coordinated set. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. Hand wash and dry flat to help the alpaca beanie keep its shape; you can find a short guide here: how to care for wool. Marta packs each order so the knitwear reaches you safely.
